A Brief Biography of Blessed Chavara Kuriakose Blessed Kuriakose
Elias Chavara was born on 10th Feb. 1805 of God fearing parents Iko
(Kuriakose) Chavara and
Mariam Thoppil of the Syro-Malabar Church, at Kainakary, near
Allappuzha, Kerala. According to the local custom the
infant was baptized on the 8th day in Chennankari Parish Church,
Alappuzha. From the age 5 to 10, he attended the
village school (Kalari) to study languages, different dialects,
and elementary sciences under the guidance of a Hindu
teacher (Asan). Inspired by the desire to become a priest, he
began the studies under the parish priest of the church of St.
Joseph. At the age of 13 in 1818 he entered the seminary at
Pallipuram where Malpan Thomas Palackal was the Rector.
He was ordained priest on 29th November, 1829 at Arthunkal and
celebrated his First Holy Mass at Chennankari
Church. After the ordination he was engaged for some time in
pastoral ministry; however he soon returned to the
seminary to teach and also to officiate for the Malpan Thomas
Palackal during his absence. Thus he joined Malpan
Thomas Porukara and Malpan Thomas Palackal when they were
planning to found a congregation. In 1830 he went to
Mannanam to direct the construction of the first house of the
congregation of which the foundation stone was laid on
11th May, 1831. After the death of both the Malpans, Blessed
Chavara took up leadership. On 8th December, 1855 he
made the religious profession along with other 10 companions,
under the name “Kuriakose Elias of Holy Family”. In
1871, on January 3rd, Fr. Kuriakose Elias Chavara, with a
painful illness, died at Koonammavu monastery in Kochi,
preserving his baptismal innocence. His mortal remains were
later transferred from Koonammavu to Mannanam in 1889
and are piously kept in the St. Joseph’s Monastery church. He
was the Prior General of all the monasteries of the
congregation from 1856 till his death in 1871. When, in 1861, a
schism threatened the Church of Kerala with the arrival
of Mar Thomas Rokos without proper credentials from the Pope,
Blessed Chavara was appointed the Vicar-General of
the Syro-Malabar Church by the Arch-Bishop of Verapolly. Blessed
Chavara is gratefully remembered and
acknowledged by the later leaders of the Church and by the
Catholic community in general for his strenuous fight,
strong stance , and effective leadership in thwarting `Thomas
Rochos’ intrusion and saving the church of Kerala from
schism.
A Brief Biography of Blessed Euphrasia The daughter of Anthony
and Kunjethy of Eluvathingal Cherpukaran, Rose Eluvathingal was
born on 17 October 1877
in the village of Kattoor, in the Diocese of Trichur, India. Her
mother’s deep piety and great devotion to the Virgin Mary,
had a strong influence on little Rose from her childhood. From
the stories that her mother told her, especially about St
Rose of Lima, she grew with a strong desire to practice the
virtues, to suffer for Jesus and to be holy, and to do all this
in
a quiet, hidden manner. During her developing years Rose began
to detach herself from earthly possessions and pleasure
and took a great interest in spiritual matters. This was all the
more rooted in her at the age of 9 by means of an
apparition of the Blessed Mother, after which the young girl
offered herself totally to the Lord. Notwithstanding the
strong opposition of her father, who wanted Rose to marry into a
rich family, she wanted to become a religious Sister.
Her intense prayer life, which included the rosary, fasting and
abstinence, as well as the rather sudden death of her
younger sister, brought about a change of heart in her father,
Anthony, who granted Rose permission to enter the
convent. In fact, her father accompanied her personally to the
convent of the Congregation of the Mother of Carmel at
Koonammavu, the first indigenous congregation of Syro-Malabars.
But even with her desire to be a Religious, Rose was
often afflicted with various illnesses which caused her intense
suffering. Once, during a particularly painful attack, the
Sisters were resolved to send her away for ever, but through an
apparition of the Holy Family she received a miraculous
healing that permitted her to continue following God’s call. On
24 May 1900 St Mary’s Convent was founded in the
current Archdiocese of Trichur, and on the same day Sr Euphrasia
made her perpetual vows to God, a day of
unspeakable joy, since now she belonged for ever to her Heavenly
Spouse. For almost 48 years the convent of St Mary
was home to Mother Euphrasia. Observing her life of prayer and
holiness, the local people called her “Praying Mother”,
and her Sisters in community referred to her as the “Mobile
Tabernacle”, because the divine presence she kept within
her radiated to all she encountered. Thus, with a pure heart
Mother Euphrasia gave her maternal love and tenderness to
those who sought her help. She gave them the comforting words of
Jesus’ Gospel and interceded for them.
-
Mother Euphrasia had a profound sense of Church and she
personally felt the sorrows and
problems of the Church of her day. She offered her
mortifications and tenderness to those who sought her help. She
gave them the comforting words of Jesus’ Gospel and interceded for
them. For each little kindness bestowed upon her she would reply,
’I will not forget it, not even after death. Mother Euphrasia had a
profound sense of Church and she personally felt the sorrows and
problems of the Church of her day. She offered her mortifications
and penances for the conversion of schismatics and asked the
novices and children to pray for them. She prayed ardently before
the Blessed Sacrament for the Holy Father, for Bishops, priests and
Religious. Mother Euphrasia offered her life in sacrifice for love
of God. She
abandoned herself to his will and finally joined him in the
heavenly embrace with her holy death on 29 August 1952. After
Mother Euphrasia’s death many of those who had obtained her help
during her lifetime now continued to beseech her help at her tomb.
In 1990 her tomb was opened, and her mortal remains were moved to
the convent chapel.

Jesus Youth All Saints Day 2014 Celebration
Jesus Youth Midwest region, celebrated All Saints Day at Sacred
Heart Knanaya Catholic Parrish on November 1st. The
program started with snacks dedicated to the memory of different
saints. Three sessions were conducted in different
tracks (Adults, youth and children) preparing the participants
with a reflection of the “call to everyday holiness.” After
the reflection in three tracks the families processed into the
church singing the Litany of Saints. Relevant prayer
cessions meditating the “sorrowful mysteries” were prayed. Then
the community enjoyed different skits, a music band
for All Saints Day along with games such as “All Saints day
Bingo” “Pumpkin Carving contest” and other group
activities. Most of the participants were dressed up like a
favorite saint and left with the fulfillment of a meaningful
family celebration of “All hallows eve.” Jesus Youth movement’s
regional monthly meetings are open for people of all
ages and the next monthly gathering is scheduled at
Syro-Malankara Catholic Church, Evanston on Nov 22, 2014.
